Do you have to be an officer for this

[@javiersolis1051]

For a pilot yes, for a sensor operator no

[@rangerover6074]

can you have a place for me am now going to 10th grade and i want to become a drone sensor operator i have a long way to go i will join when i have a college degree thank you.

[@iamishin7675]

If you get a college degree I would not recommend becoming an enlisted sensor operator. If you really want to work with drones, become an officer and be an RPA pilot.

[@tfyougonnado7841]

Haha I'm getting to 9th grade and already thinking about this stuff aswell

[@stephenray1525]

[@vegasbob0075]

Are all RPA pilots officers ?

[@USAirForceRecruiting]

vegasbob007, for the most part all pilots are officers. There are a couple of Enlisted RPA Global Hawk pilots - very few.
To apply to be a pilot you must be a US citizen with a bachelor degree.

Hi, can you let me fly the F22

[@gavin8859]

Not gonna happen

[@TitanFlare]

Yes, no problem.

[@FrankyGonzalez]

Sucks I can’t be a pilot even if it’s a remote aircraft 🤷🏼‍♂️💔

[@franciscoanaya8881]

how come?

[@aidanmcwhirter2612]

Same. Damn colorblindness shouldn’t even matter.

[@cycologist7069]

Guess you need to find another career field.

[@cycologist7069]

Interesting you even bring that though up since this vid is about the sensor operator and not the actual pilot.

[@DamienRiven]

Yes it should.
